Mazzanti EV-R to deliver over 885 pound-feet of torque

Mazzanti EV-R to deliver over 885 pound-feet of torque

Mazzanti has released a new teaser in its series highlighting its Project EV-R supercar.

In the latest installment we discover the EV-R will have more than 885 pound-feet of torque. That’s more than any other production car to come out of Italy, and it fits in line with Mazzanti’s claim the EV-R will be the most powerful production car to ever come out of the country and possibly the fastest too.

The EV-R, which is due for a reveal June 8 at the 2016 Turin Auto Show (officially the Parco Valentino), is a more extreme version of Mazzanti’s existing Evantra.

Like the Evantra, it’s powered by a V-8 engine but this time with two very large turbochargers bolted on. The Evantra is already delivering 751 horsepower so we should expect a figure closer to 1,000 hp for the EV-R. You can hear the car’s engine roar in this latest video.
